Autisme : “Supporting an autistic child at home – Understanding their experiences and helping them develop their skills and potential” written by Zohra Meghraoui, published in 2024, Eyrolles publisher.
Language delays, unexplained tantrums, object alignment, or lack of eye contact… The signs of autism in a child can alert a parent very early on. The diagnosis marks the beginning of a journey, as it involves finding support, surrounding oneself with qualified professionals, organizing daily life, and guiding the child so they can develop their skills, socialize, and thrive in school.
This book invites us to discover autism from the inside, immersing us in the child’s feelings and sensory experiences. The illustrations show us, through the eyes of Assia (3 years old), Ruben (6 years old), and Djibril (11 years old), the world as they perceive and feel it, depending on the situation (at home, on public transport, at school, during outings, etc.).
Designed by an autism specialist, this practical guide helps to discover several little-known facets of autism, provides parents and professionals with all the best practices, resources and tips to reach the child’s potential.
Autisme : “In Emma and Teddy’s eyes” written by Zohra Meghraoui, published in 2018, Tom Pousse publisher.

The stories told in In the Eyes of Emma and Teddy are designed to support autistic children and their families as they face the challenges they encounter.

Baby and toddler education : ” What do you need?! – Understanding your child’s development for conscious parenting” written by Gaëlle Guernalec-Levy for the Children Foundation. ( published in 2022, First publisher )
A graphic novel supported by the Children “Foundation” to better understand your child’s development and embark on the path of conscious parenting.
All child development specialists agree on one thing : the quality of the early bonds between a parent and child, the attention given to the child, and the emotional security provided are essential for their well-being.
This graphic novel explores everyday situations in the development of young children, the discovery of their environment, their love for exploration, but also their growing intellect when dealing with overwhelming emotions and their great appetite for communication.
Cognitive development, autonomy, social skills, discipline… The topics you will discover highlight practices that meet the needs of toddlers in everyday situations. They conclude with a summary of current knowledge on child development, in order to understand all the issues and build a harmonious, secure, and stimulating relationship with your child.
